The real price of water.

Walking,
for water.

In drought-affected Somalia, only 52% of the population has access to a basic water supply.

Many water sources are drying up, forcing some children to walk up to 50km a day for water, which is often contaminated with life-threatening diseases.

Working with UNICEF, we designed a hidden camera social experiment video as an innovative way to confront passers-by.

In order to make a purchase, members of the public were asked to consider how far they would walk for water.
